No cardiac problems for me. For one, my cholesteral is fine at 140 with the good at 45. For another, anymore I&#8217m detached during games. I&#8217ve gone three quarters vulcan. I won&#8217t go full, because NEVER go full vulcan.

Or maybe I&#8217m not really a fan.

@O&B

Dawk and Champ deserve one don&#8217t they? Maybe&#8230?

No, no, that is impossible&#8230.right?

Posted by SpaceCowboy on 2011-12-12 00:51:34

It really doesn&#8217t get any better than this. Unless it&#8217s a Super Bowl.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-12 00:40:50

I love being a Broncos fan right now.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-12 00:37:51

Oh yeah, Tebow was 21 of 40, for 236 yards. Was 3 for 13 in the first half. And at least 1 blown TD. Oh, and he was the leading rusher as well.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-12 00:34:45

@RalphW:

About 15% of the fan base.

Next up, New England. Hopefully we can score some points early&#8230 OR they can make some catches. >_<

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-12 00:30:14

Ralph, add me to that list.

My heart has exploded.

I have no idea anymore. The only analogy I have is Rocky. First 14 rounds, just getting punched in the face and taking the punishment, then wins it at the end.

Posted by SpaceCowboy on 2011-12-12 00:30:13

RalphW: I may have had one before that game-winning kick. Wow. Just wow. I don&#8217t know how TJ will have anything more insightful to say about this one than that. (But he will.)

Posted by Royalwithcheese on 2011-12-12 00:29:16

How many of us will have heart attacks by seasons end?

Posted by RalphW on 2011-12-12 00:26:32

Lots of great plays from the whole team at the end. Stripping the ball for the fumble. A great catch by DT. The whole team came alive.

Posted by CT254 on 2011-12-12 00:24:38

I wonder how the prob meter still gives Oakland a 1% chance?

Posted by GEM592 on 2011-12-12 00:24:11

With apologies to the Harbaughs, nobody has it better than US! This is incredible. Has football ever been this much fun?

Posted by Xtreme212000 on 2011-12-12 00:23:56

So, this went about 6 minutes into OT and still finished before GB vs Oakland.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-12 00:23:45

I admit I was sure that was a loss ... then Barber gets tackled in bounds.

Posted by GEM592 on 2011-12-12 00:23:05

@O&B:

I simply don&#8217t know. I guess, to beat Tebow in the 4th quarter, you have to play perfect all 15 minutes. Or something?

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-12 00:22:23

Perhaps I spoke too soon when talking about coming off a Tebow high.

Posted by Royalwithcheese on 2011-12-12 00:22:20

This is the most magical ride EVER not involving the playoffs. Holy mole-y.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-12 00:21:28

looking forward to doug&#8217s lard intro almost as much as tj gut reactions after this one

What a huge strip from Woodyard, that was basically gonna be the game right there.

Posted by underdog on 2011-12-12 00:13:40

Woodyard on the strip ... wow.

Posted by GEM592 on 2011-12-12 00:13:15

WW!!

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-12 00:13:08

Fumble! Here we go offense, put this away!

Posted by penguinman831 on 2011-12-12 00:12:55

Wow. Mile High Magic IS BACK!

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-12 00:12:32

Man, only hope is a TO now. Already in makable FG range&#8230.Come ON! Want this comeback to happen!

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-12 00:11:55

Man that really didn;t look like a catch from Barber, or at least close, but I guess since you can&#8217t challenge, sigh&#8230

Posted by underdog on 2011-12-12 00:11:42

Oh come on&#8230where&#8217s the D? Now we&#8217ve lost the game!

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-12 00:10:30

As I started telling my dad when I was 10 years old, using the prevent defense only prevents you from winning.

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-12 00:10:23

That hit the ground

Posted by GEM592 on 2011-12-12 00:10:08

One thing I&#8217m noticing.

Spread Option concepts destroy prevent defenses. Teams will eventually realize to never go into prevent.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-12 00:08:07

Alright defense. Time to end this.

Posted by jubei on 2011-12-12 00:07:53

OK now the game really starts.

Posted by GEM592 on 2011-12-12 00:07:37

UNBELIEVABLE. Or really, maybe it is believable. If only they hadn&#8217t had that kick blocked earlier!

Credit Prater of course but Tebow gets some credit for dialing it up in the 4th. Incredible.

Posted by underdog on 2011-12-12 00:07:31

Just noticed that, myself, TS. That line doesn&#8217t get much steeper than that.

Posted by jubei on 2011-12-12 00:06:41

Holy crap. Holy crap. Literally HOLY crap.

Piper, how&#8217s that for a script?

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-12 00:06:37

I am at a loss. Wow.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-12 00:04:17

The Broncos under Tebow do make for some pretty interesting looking Advanced NFL Stats Win Probability graphs.

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-12 00:04:00

HOW???

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-12 00:03:35

Thank you, Marion Barber!

Posted by jubei on 2011-12-12 00:03:08

You&#8217ve got to be kidding me! This is so much fun. I love this team. No surrender!

Posted by Xtreme212000 on 2011-12-12 00:02:41

DON&#8217T NEED NO NOVAKKING!!!

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-12 00:02:17

i&#8217m prater, i&#8217d be tempted to do some novakking right now.

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-11 23:59:39

Elway will be wearing a TT jersey I we win this

Posted by RalphW on 2011-12-11 23:58:16

Now we need one of those Decker or DT long touchdown passes!

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:57:59

sweet getting it back with some clock

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-11 23:55:44

Gotta stop &#8216em here on 3rd down boys! Better yet, get a TO!

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:55:41

Chicago recovers? That&#8217s not in the script. That&#8217s not the finish that was agreed on. What kind of screwjob is this? Who broke kayfabe?

Posted by Piper A R on 2011-12-11 23:54:14

D steps up and we get a miracle I some sort. Let the tebowing begin&#8230

Posted by RalphW on 2011-12-11 23:54:05

So close. So freaking close. Well, if the D can hold Tebow should have about 30 seconds. Crazier things have happened.

Posted by Xtreme212000 on 2011-12-11 23:54:01

Mario hit it out of Wilhites grasp.

Posted by sluggo on 2011-12-11 23:53:54

@Sinthor:

No time outs for either.

So close on that on-sides.

And the blocked FG & that fumble were huge.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-11 23:53:23

Tebow&#8217s job on an onside kick is to ask Heyzeus for a recovery.

Posted by Piper A R on 2011-12-11 23:53:12

Oh man oh man oh man. Damn. Great kick by Prater.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:52:43

That kick was beautiful, just two guys can&#8217t catch it

Posted by Gman on 2011-12-11 23:51:50

Are both teams out of time outs? That could make getting the ball back problematic at the least&#8230

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:51:30

That&#8217s how to catch it DT!

Posted by RalphW on 2011-12-11 23:49:28

Tebow could use hitting his checkdowns a bit more.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-11 23:41:59

At least the defense is still playing well. The offensive issues from the first six games are still with us&#8212there is only so much masking of the issues with the OL that Tebow can do. The Bears D is just too fast for Tebow to work the slow developing read plays against. The good news is if Denver doesn&#8217t have to draft a QB in the first, they can really address the OL and the other holes.

Posted by DCJ on 2011-12-11 23:39:41

I think Gut Reactions will be critical of Fox.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:38:32

Decker still playing?

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-11 23:37:45

Cosby was the &#8220intangible&#8221 last wk, this wk he&#8217s a spectator.

Surprised how good Chicagos kicking game is&#8230both P and K.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:37:34

Well, there&#8217s still enough time, but the points have to start coming right now. I guess I shouldn&#8217t be writing this team off just yet.

Posted by Xtreme212000 on 2011-12-11 23:37:08

@O&B:

He&#8217s got to look human some days. But he can&#8217t do it all. The Run game just hasn&#8217t got anything done all day. Then the drops started and blew up most of the game.

And that strip hurts a lot.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-11 23:34:20

Although this game is not over&#8230

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:34:15

Well, I guess coming down off the Tebow high is the hardest part.

Posted by Royalwithcheese on 2011-12-11 23:33:04

Our only chance is if the defense makes something happen right now. They need to score.

Posted by Xtreme212000 on 2011-12-11 23:32:43

Ok, that fumble was on Tebow. Which is especially a bummer because he was having a nice drive until then. :(

Posted by underdog on 2011-12-11 23:32:31

Tebow was bound to have a bad game. This is one. Two turnovers not acceptable.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:31:57

OK, defense. It&#8217s up to you guys.

Posted by jubei on 2011-12-11 23:31:57

Not looking good for any magic today. At least the Raiders are going to lose, too.

OIO, DT had his guy by a good five yards and it bounced off his hands.

Posted by jubei on 2011-12-11 23:26:03

There you go, D! Great job with a 3 n&#8217 out! Now lets get something GOING!

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:25:32

Now that was lucky&#8230wow.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:25:21

Anyone have any idea if the WRs are getting any separation? Seems like they&#8217re completly covered

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-11 23:25:05

Boy, I thought they ran into the punter there

Posted by Gman on 2011-12-11 23:23:19

Our interior OL is getting powned

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:21:51

@OutinOregon- good point. They&#8217ve squandered a TON of opportunities that could have put the game away so far. Winning does have to be a TEAM affair, after all. Hopefully they can get a spark though and get this going. It&#8217s not like it&#8217s out of reach just yet, but now the Bears D is going to try and turn up the heat. Means more opportunities to burn them- IF someone can make a play.

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:21:21

Gotta give credit to Bears&#8217 defense, too, they came to play, have executed well, in a game they surely feel they had to win. Broncos&#8217 D has mostly played well , too, but the offense hasn&#8217t gotten much going at all. And only some of that is on Denver; some you have to credit the Bears for. So far. Lotsa time left.

Posted by underdog on 2011-12-11 23:19:56

Unless Tebow runs it all himself, really not sure this one is coming back. Got to get something going. Not sure what.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-11 23:19:35

Its time Tebow gets going.

Posted by sleepyteak on 2011-12-11 23:19:28

Geesh. Gould had about another 8 yards on that kick.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:18:28

4th Quarter. It&#8217s now Tebow time! (hopefully)

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:17:51

@Orange and Blue- I agree. If the WR&#8217s can&#8217t catch, get the TE&#8217s involved so we can move the ball!

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:17:15

This game highlights where having B. Llyod or Jabar Gaffney right now would be a really good thing. Or B. Stokley!

Posted by Sinthor on 2011-12-11 23:16:21

Its amazing how little the TEs are involved in the passing game. I&#8217d like to see Rosario out there soon.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:16:17

Yeah, that screen was blatantly obvious.

Posted by Xtreme212000 on 2011-12-11 23:15:49

They should have seen the screen coming

Posted by Gman on 2011-12-11 23:15:13

Broncos need a big play on Defense right now to light a spark and help even the score as well. If they could get a return or fumble for some points, I think the whole team would pick it up.

And don&#8217t forget that on the big return Wilhite had Hester bottled up until he got shoved to the ground from behind.

Posted by Xtreme212000 on 2011-12-11 23:13:36

At least the Broncos are spreading the drops around: Decker, Thomas, Harris on a potential INT, Cosby on a muffed punt&#8230

Posted by jubei on 2011-12-11 23:13:23

It&#8217s becoming blatantly apparent that WR is a DESPERATE need in the draft,.

Posted by jayrockstone on 2011-12-11 23:11:11

@Tombstone:

They&#8217re playing it right. They&#8217re not out-punting their coverage. Hester can get out, but they&#8217re playing it really well.

Posted by OutInOregon on 2011-12-11 23:10:37

Sometimes it hurts having an aggressive coach like Fox who can&#8217t help but throw the dice. I mean, you have an opponent with 1 weapon, their punt returner, and you give him a chance to make a play by punting to him. Like TJ always says, &#8220John Fox, grow a pair&#8221.... wait a minute&#8230

Posted by Tombstone on 2011-12-11 23:07:06

Against my usual preference, we need to pound the ball more.

Posted by Orange and Blue on 2011-12-11 23:06:24

No worry. This just sets up yet another Tim Tebow Two Minute Comeback.
